Hello. I am currently developing with couchdb and would like to see
the full potential of erlang used to distribute map/reduce work for
CouchDB 1.0. This would permit launching more nodes to perform the
work in less time (ie 10 servers = 1/10 time of 1 server).
I would like to launch more nodes while the work is required and
return to the original number of nodes afterwards. This would be
extremely beneficial and also consistent with circumstances where
queueing may also be employed for imports (since this result in the
original map/reduce work). In this circumstance, based on work volume
in queue, n servers are launched to distribute work to handle the
heavy IO requirement of imports and terminated when no longer needed.
Many thanks.
Regards,
David
